caucus nominate two candidates, one for the
unexpired portion of the term of the late exs
Senator Pike, and one for the term beginning
March ath, 1887. Sulloway of Manchester, an
avowed Marston man, said if the convention

Mr.. Chandler was declared the nominee.
The result was received with long-c0ntinued
applause. Mr.. Sulloway, after the applause
subsided, moved that the nomination be
made unanimous. The motion was carried
amid much enthusiasm. A committee was
appointed to notify Mr.. Chandler of his
nomination and to request his presence.
The committee retired and soon appeared
he was warmly greeted. Mr.. Chandler,
after expressing thanks for the honor con-
ferred said that if elected he should esteem
1t sacred duty, not merely to serve in the
high official station, but the Republican
party as we'll That party, he said, deserves
posed and abolished slavery, saved the I'm
Ion in bloody civil war and enfranchised
the race it set free. Tho Democratic party
defended and endeavored to extend slavery,
and encouraged secession and rebellion. No
wonder it is ashamed of its history and
wishes to see the past buried and forgotten.
To deserve and obtain future success the
Republican party must assert and maintain
record. The Republican party must main
tain the important and essential moral diff
ferences between freedom and slavery, 10y
atty and treason, the Union army and
the Confederate army, Ulysses s.
Robert E. Lee and his associates.
The party must also be true to the past,
namely, the question of free elections Ia the
South The colored population gives solid
South, 3S extra representatives in Congress
and 3s extra electoral votes. The colored
mems ballots are suppressed and the votes
used solely in the interest of enemies.
The Republican party must be right
on new tissues. 1t must favor reforms in
the government, make itself purer and
better than the one it proposed to defeat,
which was masquerading under the guise of
reform and has proved itself party of un-
relenting prescription, driving from office

the Bishop to sit beside him. The lieuten-

which was that the king desired to cement

consented. although he knew little Of the

up before the King and the Bishop, he made
an impressive address. which the Bishop
learned later was about the relations that
ought to maintain between brothers. Then
he knelt by the King, who raised his robes
slightly SO rs to disclose his leg bare to the
knee. The Lieutenant pricked the calf with
the point of his knife so that few drops Of
blood ran. He caught them in his left hand
and turned to the Bishop. who, comprehend
ing the situation, rolled his trousers part
way up his legs. The Lieutenant made
similar incision upon the Bishops calf, and
caught the dropping blood in the same hand
that held the Kings blood. Then he stood
up again and rubbed the palms of his hands
together so that the blood was thoroughly
mixed, after which he spatted both hands
violently upon the ground, rubbing off all
traces Of the blood with dirt, saying as he
did so:

In looking over an old file of business
cards the other day we ran across one which
was originated in 1877 by w. A. Kimball, who
was then the General Travelling Agent for
the Portland and Mt. Desert steamers. Mr..
Kimball was:constantly importuned by near
" everyone who knew him for free pass.
After time Mr.. Kimbal became weary Of
refusing them, and issued the business card
we have mentioned. On the back Of the
card were the following quotations from the
scriptures: Thou shalt not pass--Numbers

About year ago strange cat took up
her abode on steamer Penobscot Some
weeks ago the cat disappeared and when
next seen she was domiciled on the Lewis

ended with a broken thaft. The cat, how

resided there led very discontented life.
At the end of the trip the Lewiston hauled
up alongside the Penobseot, and at the irs'
